(for instance: After doing my first 4-unit buy and hold, I've been doing some trading and was able to connect with someone from one of the other groups who does option trading for a living.)Most of the members are involved in real estate, so if nothing else it seems like a great place to network.As for logistics - it seems like M1/GB is still trying to figure things out.

So they obviously like the area, know the hiring potential, know the real estate and associated costs, and like the logistics.   

It is easier to do all of that locally from a logistics standpoint, doing it out of state would require you to travel there and spend quite some time there learning the market and building your trusted team.

This first "base hit" deal is amazing and I really like the "deal deep dive" you included by giving us all the logistics and details of buying this property.

You need to communicate with your contractor that you want to add value and rooms but only if logistics and value make sense.

I doubt that BP is going to be hosting a summit, there's just to much logistically to organize it.

For me, maintenance became a huge struggle when I had to help my grandfather manage his company as he became too old to keep managing his company, and with my background working logistics at Amazon I realized what a logistical nightmare maintenance was becoming and how much of my time it was eating and hiring additional help is always difficult since I don't know many people with a burning passion for maintenance scheduling, so as good as the work was I always knew it was a temporary hire that could leave at any moment.While reading through here I have to agree that at a certain point having a property manager handle everything from top to bottom is incredibly valuable especially if your intention is passive income.

We would just have to be very strategic about the property and do some pre-research on the logistics of such projects.For example, if I could get a good deal (under market value) on a 2 bed 1 bath (with decent square footage) into a 3 bed 2 bath, it could appraise for much higher after-the-fact, and we could pull some cash back out of the deal -- though probably not as much as I put into the rehab.I've heard of doing these kinds of things as part of a BRRRR, but curious if there would be any reasons we couldn't do it as part of a house-hack / longer term flip?

The tough part is the logistics with cleaners, handymen, emergency calls, tradespeople, etc. 

And, just logistically, it’s easier to drive by a 100-unit complex than it is 100 SFRs.
